I have a white patch on my lip from biting it too much and since my skin is fair, my lips are naturally pink so the patch stands out. My lower lip is also pretty big. Is there any way to fix this without surgery?

View allI've been using Candid cream and Clocip powder, but I keep getting this itchy sensation again. It feels good when I scratch it, but then it gets really irritating. Can you recommend a good ointment or prescription I could try?
Consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole, Miconazole, or Terbinafine, and for itching, apply a topical steroid cream like Hydrocortisone; also, try an anti-itching cream like Sarna or Calamine; if the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for a prescription and proper diagnosis, as recurring itching and irritation may indicate an underlying skin condition.

I'm an 18-year-old guy dealing with some serious male pattern baldness. It's getting worse, and now there's this awkward bald patch on my forehead that's really noticeable in daylight. My doctor mentioned trying PRP and stem cell therapy, which sounds promising, but it's an 8-week thing and honestly, I'm thinking of just shaving my head in the meantime because the bald spot is pretty embarrassing. Do you think it's okay to shave my head before starting the PRP and stem cell treatments? Also, is it safe or effective to switch between PRP and stem cell therapies during this period?
Shaving your head before starting PRP and Stem-cell therapy is perfectly fine and will not interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment. In fact, shaving your head may even help improve the absorption of the treatment into your scalp. As for taking PRP and Stem-cell therapy alternatively, it is safe and can be effective in promoting hair growth. Just make sure to follow your doctor's recommended dosage and treatment plan for optimal results.
